All 157 Passengers On Board Ethiopian Plane Crash Die

As reported yesterday an Ethiopian Airlines flight on its way to Nairobi from Addis Ababa crashed, leaving no survivors in its wake.

As Al Jazeera pointed out, the Boeing 737 MAX 8 carrying 149 passengers and eight Ethiopian Airlines servicemen and women, lost contact with air traffic control 6 minutes after take-off, crashing near the city of Bishoftu in the southeast portion of the country.

The pilot manning the Boeing 737 issued a distress call just seconds before air traffic controllers lost signal. It’s not yet known what caused the plane to become unstable while in the lower reaches of the atmosphere.
